Strike Lanes

About Strike Lanes

Strike Lanes is a free 3D bowling game with real pin physics. You stand at the end of a shiny wooden lane with ten pins waiting at the far end. Drag sideways to move your ball to where you want to start, then swipe up to bowl: the direction of your swipe aims, a fast swipe throws harder, and a curved swipe puts hook on the ball so it bends across the lane. Pins fly, spin and knock each other down just like at a real bowling alley, so where the ball hits matters. Straight into the middle often leaves a split; the best shot comes in slightly to the side of the front pin, into the pocket. Knock all ten down with the first ball for a strike, or clear what's left with the second ball for a spare. Strikes in a row build a bonus. The game goes on frame after frame, but every open frame, where pins are still standing after two balls, costs one of your three lives. You have twelve seconds for each roll. Lose all three lives and the game is over, but you can resume once with a life back. Strike Lanes works on phones, tablets and computers.

How to play

• Drag sideways to move the ball
• Swipe up to bowl: direction aims, speed is power
• Curve your swipe to hook the ball
• Keyboard: ← → to move, ↑ to bowl

Tips

• Aim just beside the front pin, not straight at it
• A little hook into the pocket gives the most strikes
• For a spare, move the ball in line with the pins left
• Strikes in a row are worth a big bonus
